Service user engagement at Exemplar Health Care

Exemplar Health Care is committed to engaging with service users in a variety of meaningful ways, to ensure that each individual is central to decisions about their care and that our care is shaped and guided by the people that receive it.

Our sunflower growing competition was one of the initiatives that our Service User Council decided and organised.
